I suggest search for SpyBot Search & Destroy & Malwarebytes' anti-malware, Also Download CCleaner. All of these will have a free version available. Install these programs & then update them while you have an internet connection. Then reboot into safe mode, for most computers press Start / turn off computer / restart - as soon as computer boots press F8 & pick safe mode from the presented list. Once in safe mode start spybot search & destroy and follow the directions to begin the scan. Once completed do the same for Malwarebytes' anti-malware. Now reboot into Normal windows. Then run the CCleaner Program. The first Tab on the left reads "cleaner" and has a brush on it. Select that tab, on the bottom right click run cleaner. when that finishes select Registry Tab on the left. then select Scan for issues. When scan has finished select "fix selected issues" it will ask you if you want to backup Registry, say no, then press fix issues, then close. Run registry cleaner till nothing else shows up. This will fix your issue 99% of the time. If all that does not work then you are at a worse case scenario. Boot from your windows DVD & under the install look for a drive options. You want to delete the partition on your hard drive. Yes that kills the virus, as well as everything else on the computer so it really is worse case fix. Once the partition is gone power off the computer. Physically unplug the power from the unit then walk away for a minute. After your one minute wait plug it back in, reinstall windows from your DVD & you will have no virus

Sounds like you have a virus. boot into safemode with networking and download malwarebytes run that in safe mode. then restart into normal windows and run malware again. then i suggest downloading AVG its free and antivirus great program. also if you are using mcaffee dont use it. It slows your PC down way to much

I would suggest that you do a full scan for viruses and malware. Malware Bytes is a good tool to use for that, download it here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php. Also, do a virus check, some viruses try to stop you from plugging in external devices that may have anti virus software to combat the virus.

I would also suggest that you check you memory usage to make sure the your not running out of memory when trying to use these devices.

Another option is that your operating system files have been corrupted. Can you give me the model of compaq notebook that we are talking about?

You probably have a virus on your system. You will need to install an antivirus. I suggest Avast as it is free and will do a boot time scan. It will get rid of your viruses and your computer should start to run faster.
